No journalists dared to ask more questions, and Zhang nglong had said almost everything he wanted to say. Of course, he didn't actually plan to turn Arica upside down; he just wanted to teach Qualcomm Electronics a good lesson. He, Zhang nglong, was not to be trifled with!
"Hong Yi, how's Kaibong doing?" Zhang nglong returned to his residence and suddenly rembered the Kaibong issue. Half a month had passed, and by now Kaibong must be on the verge of tears, right?
"They've managed to procure a batch of coal from other countries, averaging almost 90 US dollars per ton, but even at that price, they only managed to buy less than 10 million tons, since other countries need it for themselves too. That's pretty much scraping it from their teeth," reported Hong Yi.
"Collectively, all their coal power companies still have about 5 million tons of coal, which will probably run out in a week at most."
"Aren't they in a hurry?" Zhang nglong asked with a smile on his face.
"In a hurry? How could they not be?" Hong Yi said, "In the past week, they've organized several etings. Now, they're divided into two factions: one wants Kaibong to agree to sell new soil mines to Huaxia, and the other wants to carry on with the blockade plan. It's beco quite a ss."
"You know, one of the biggest shareholders of Qualcomm Electronics is from Kaibong. Because of his connections, many of Kaibong's electronics information industries are built around Qualcomm Electronics as their core. Now that Qualcomm Electronics is in trouble, they're also having a tough ti. Out of so many electronics giants, you specifically targeted Qualcomm Electronics. Kaibong people are no fools and can guess your intentions."
"Looks like they're still sowhat aware," Zhang nglong laughed, "Keep an eye on them. I'd like to see if they can last through this week."
"You go ahead with your work!" Zhang nglong signaled, receiving a call from Wang Ling.
"Boy, you sure did work fast. You've just arrived in Arica, and you've already turned everything topsy-turvy!" Wang Ling sounded thrilled.
"What do you an 'topsy-turvy'? It's not like I've killed soone," Zhang nglong laughed, "Am I the kind of person who would take a loss without striking back? They had it coming!"
"Anyone who crosses you really must have bad karma!" Wang Ling exclaid.
"What's up?"
"It's like this—the esports Olympics events have all been applied for, and we've already started talking about ga licensing with several companies."
"How did it go?"
"So far, we've tentatively set 10 ga events, including CS, PUBG, King of Fighters, Dota, Warcraft, StarCraft, League of Legends, etc. The developers of eight other gas have already granted us licenses, but Riot Gas and Blizzard have refused us."
"Oh? Why?"
"Isn't it because they want to control their influence?" Wang Ling said, "Warcraft and League of Legends each have an annual world championship as the organizer, and they make a fortune just from the annual sponsorship naming rights. These are already top-level events in the world. If we create an Esports Olympics, wouldn't our influence surpass theirs?"
"True!" Zhang nglong nodded. The corporate sponsors whose naming rights fees are fixed each year and are usually exclusive would have to choose one of the two if there were two large events, and in terms of scale, they would definitely go for the bigger one.
"Alright, I'll deal with this when I get back to Huaxia. How is your new club doing?"
"I've organized ten teams according to these ten esports, all manned by talented players I've scouted. This ti at the esports Olympics, we'll definitely make a breakthrough," Wang Ling said confidently.
"What breakthrough!" Zhang nglong said, "If we participate, we must win the championship. The whole world must know that Huaxia is number one in everything, even in playing gas. We must play better than anyone else!"
"It's not that easy!" Wang Ling said with a bitter smile, "After so many years of competition, our Huaxia teams and those from Europe, Arica, and Qingqiu have had mixed results, and even three years ago, the League of Legends was dominated by teams from Qingqiu Country. Besides, our strength in FPS gas is also sowhat weaker; winning the championship is a bit…"
"Don't worry, I will personally take the role of head coach. By then, I'll definitely wipe out the competition from all directions, crushing everyone and everything in my path, human or divine…"
"Get lost! Every ti I play gas with you, it's just a bunch of annoying moves. I'm already full, and you still want to spoon-feed . If you beco a coach, our team probably won't even qualify for the last Olympic spot!"
"Ever heard of 'a person can change a lot in three days'?" Zhang nglong used to be pretty bad at gaming, but now he's been learning from the gaming legend Ye Qiu for a while. No matter the ga, he's confident he can beco a legend. "Don't believe ? We'll just have to solo it out when the ti cos!"
"Solo it is then—watch
smash your head in when the ti cos!"

In just one night, employees from over thirty Arican companies staged large-scale strikes, each with different reasons.
Everyone saw Zhang nglong's interview content. As long as you strike, you get double pay. Even if the company had no issues, employees would definitely find so just to strike! After all, everyone has the right to strike, and even the state can't interfere!
As the "Worker's Fund Foundation" administrator, Berlinas was extrely busy today, but he thoroughly enjoyed this bustle. To those strikers, he seed like a pioneer, a leader, and even a hero!
"Mr. Zhang, today more than thirty companies have applied to the Worker's Fund, involving around 12,000 people. The expenditure this month might be about 80 to 85 million US dollars. Do you think this money should be..."
"Just over thirty companies? Give it to them!" Zhang nglong waved his hand grandly and ordered the funds to be transferred imdiately.
The "Worker's Fund Foundation" was highly efficient, and since all the money was in cash, it took less than half a day for the funds to be distributed to the accounts of those strikers.
"It's really double the salary!"
"The fund is real! Just strike, and you'll get double the pay!"
"fuck, then why even work? Brothers, let's strike too!"
...
That very afternoon, workers from over forty more companies announced they were striking.
"Mr. Zhang, this afternoon, another forty-plus companies, totaling 8982 people, have applied for the 'Worker's Fund,'" Berlinas reported.
"Transfer the money!" Zhang nglong's reply was casually succinct, as if the money wasn't even his.
...
"Hong Yi, keep track of how much money we've spent in Arica during this period," Zhang nglong said. "I'm going to reclaim it all, with interest, in the end!"
